MINED LAND WILDLIFE STATEMENT/EVALUATION (Revised] <br />for limited impact and select regular mine applications <br />The following information pertaining to wildlife is provided for <br />use by Mined Land Reclamation Board in their consideration of a <br />mining permit for: <br />Ridge /Open Sand & Gravel / T22S, R47W, N2 Sec. 22 <br />Name <br />Wildlife Species List: <br />Pronghorn <br />Deer <br />Rabbit <br />Coyote <br />Mourning Dove <br />Endangered/Critical <br />Badger <br />Scaled Quail <br />Raptors <br />Various nongame Bird, Mammal, 6_Reptile_Spp. <br />Species/Impacted: <br />None that we are aware of. <br />Critical Habitats/Vegetative Communities Impacted: <br />None that we are aware of. <br />Assessment of Impact: <br />Minimal due to it's location in dry rangeland, and the fact that the area will <br />soon become an electricity producing Wind Farm. Fuel?machinery oil spills are <br />'always an area of concern and should be guarded against. Wind erosin is likely <br />due to the location on a windswept ridge. <br />Mine Reclamation Recommendations (include key species/habitats for <br />which restoration is designed): <br />I recommend that the pit be graded and sloped to 3:1 or less and seeded with <br />a grass mixture suitable to the site and accepted by the NRCS. The planting <br />of shrubs or trees like Rocky Mtn. Juniper and Western Red Cedar would not only <br />benefit Wildlife, but would improve the esthetics of the area and help reduce <br />wind erosin. <br />Prepared By: ~''/e%Z~ ~• ~,~~~~/~/ _ Date • 6 a Y (° 3 <br />Submitted By: <br /> <br />This statement is void if not processed within 1 year. <br />This analysis does not constitute approval of application. <br />
